Abstract

Ezra Pound has rightly observed - 'Great literature is simply language charged with meaning to the utmost possible degree'. A linguist deaf" to the poetic function of language and a literary scholar indifferent to linguistic problems and unconversant with linguistic methods are equally flagrant anachronisms. Now, what makes a verbal message a work of art, a thing of beauty, a text with its own literary texture? It is truism to say that nothing but the special use of language that contributes to the literariness of text or discourse.
